  - You don't need to log in to see the Movies board. -- nm - mara Mar 8, 10:40 2
    - But you do to trade :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 8, 10:43 1
      - Oh, I thought you were just looking for new posts on the board. -- nm - mara Mar 8, 12:26
  - Finally got in...through the cupboard door - Old Antarctic Explorer Mar 8, 10:39 1
    - Yup, login link hasn't worked since the board went down. Be interesting to see what happens when they try to post the adjust later. -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 8, 10:40
  - I think she has a direct port bookmark, but I'm not sure -- nm - Beryllium Mar 8, 10:39 4

    - ...turned "OFF"...darnit -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 8, 10:10
- What's wrong with the Movies board? -- nm - David Mar 8, 09:53 4
  - You wouldn't be playing straight man here, would you? - Roger More Mar 8, 09:57 2
    - A) I *am* straight and anything Andy Dick says to the contrary is a damned dirty lie. B) I cut the cord. I wish them well, but they made their call. -- nm - David Mar 8, 10:01 1
      - heh - I meant that the obvious response to your question was "Beside the usual?" - Roger More Mar 8, 10:08

  - Fired Up's three weeks in the top ten is kind of impressive to me. -- nm - Tim Mar 8, 10:32
- And the official WATCH # is $55.65 -- (link) - secretslacker Mar 8, 09:30 16
  - Hurrah! It's too far from my prediction to do me much good on the Facebook game though. -- nm - Qale Mar 8, 13:14
  - *kicks self* - Tim Mar 8, 10:26 1
    - You're probably more right than the estimates are. - Inigo Mar 8, 10:32
  - you owe me $5! -- nm - Remlik Mar 8, 10:25
  - So, counting the 4.5mil...this was a 25m Friday +4.5...and then 26mil Sat & Sun? - Will Hunting Mar 8, 09:36 11
    - Math is hard... it's $30.2 million for Saturday and Sunday *ESTIMATED* -- nm - secretslacker Mar 8, 09:37 10
      - Well, then...that 25mil included the 4.5mil that we were told yesterday wasn't. - Will Hunting Mar 8, 09:38 9
        
        The only person who said that yesterday failed a basic reading interpretation exam. - David Mar 8, 09:40 7
        
        Okay. - Will Hunting Mar 8, 09:43 6
        
        I'm not seeing the ouch. It's right there with The Incredible Hulk and Fantastic Four and smokes Ghost Rider, Daredevil et al. - David Mar 8, 09:46 5
        
        For the projections they were making (70mil), it needed a clean 30mil - Will Hunting Mar 8, 09:47 4
        
        Variety and Hollywood Reporter wouldn't even give a number on Thursday. - David Mar 8, 09:51 3

        I really hope that Fox's lawyers accidently f***ed themselves over in the fine print -- nm - Beryllium Mar 8, 10:17
        
        The $25.2 million included the $4.5 million. -- nm - secretslacker Mar 8, 09:39
Twug, you're missing something huge. (Watchmen spoilers) - David Mar 8, 09:10 3

  - Spoilers - David Mar 8, 09:39
Most of the clocks in my house adjusted automatically - amoxy Mar 8, 08:44 3
- The clock on my insulin pump was the only one I had to adjust. -- nm - kelly Mar 8, 09:05
- Ah, that explains how poorly Watchmen did... - secretslacker Mar 8, 08:45 1
  - And if the clocks change automatically, there are fewer subconscious reminders to see the movie -- nm - Roger More Mar 8, 09:05
great Jardine/Rampage fight last night -- nm - Stewie Mar 8, 08:30 1
- Spoil me on who won please -- nm - Stephen Mar 8, 11:32

- She is cute -- nm - amoxy Mar 8, 08:44
- No earrings. -- nm - BAD Mar 8, 08:42 1
  - are you sure? -- nm - marcel Mar 8, 08:46
I was going to ya -- nm - Beryllium Mar 8, 08:16 1
- Fricking iPhone go/backspace proximity :( I was going to take race photos this morning, but the cold weather is killing my already-low battery -- nm - Beryllium Mar 8, 08:17

The World.....................Epic! -- (link) - Loyola Mar 8, 07:29 [youtube]
LIR: WATCH is probably a million dollar short. -- nm - secretslacker Mar 8, 07:02 25
- If so, cool - my port needs this after the Jonas Brothers fiasco - and not being touched for a week. -- nm - Diva Mar 8, 09:08
- And I assume the Cantor Exchange is going to experience the same problem as it has with the Jonas Brothers Movie - Dano Mar 8, 09:06
- I'm glad I dumped my long. I was leaning short even though my EAP was 8 or 10 points above the halt price. - Jelly Mar 8, 07:16 2
  - Qale's prediction was also above the halt price but he went short. -- nm - secretslacker Mar 8, 07:57 1
    - Turned out to be a weird if correct call. The adjusts never cease to be boring. -- nm - Qale Mar 8, 13:17
- I wonder how close it comes to sub $100 delist. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 8, 07:03 19
  - It won't... probably 120-130 -- nm - secretslacker Mar 8, 07:10 18
    - I'll take the under on the 120 easily. - Will Hunting Mar 8, 07:15 17
      - you realize that you're calculating an under 2.2 delist mult, right? - secretslacker Mar 8, 07:56 4
        
        Yes, I know exactly what I'm predicting. Normal weekend IM rules don't apply when the IM is this low. - Will Hunting Mar 8, 07:59 3
        
        Well,if you want to make it interesting... name your stakes :) -- nm - secretslacker Mar 8, 08:01 2
        
        It's interesting enough with my name on multiple posts at sub-120. - Will Hunting Mar 8, 08:04 1
        
        For the record, a 2.0 final multiplier wouldn't surprise me. I've been thinking between Cloverfield and The Hulk for a while now. -- nm - David Mar 8, 09:42
      - Man, and D. Mac is giving *me* shit for being down on this movie.. 2.2 mult is expected with that high a percentage of midnights. -- nm - secretslacker Mar 8, 07:52 1
        
        D.Mac was giving you grief because you were down on the flick months out and then all of sudden decided that 70m+ was a good idea afterall. Too bad - Catzan Mar 8, 09:12
      - And in looking at this, i'm just now realizing how horrendous Friday the 13th's overall performance is. - Will Hunting Mar 8, 07:22 9
        
        Of course, when you make back your entire production budget on the first Friday, horrible legs are less of an issue. -- nm - Dano Mar 8, 09:01 4
        
        Like The Happening, they'd still be a lot happier if they'd had a good movie to sell, though. -- nm - David Mar 8, 09:41 3
        
        Of course, I'm sure they'd rather have a $100M+ grosser from that start, but they sold what they had and must have made at least 3X production budget. - Dano Mar 8, 10:07 2
        
        You're doing a ventriloquist act with my MMQB comments about it, but they still left a lot of money on the table by making a bad film. -- nm - David Mar 8, 10:13
        
        I'm not saying it's a failure for it's cost/revenue; just how it got there is epic bad. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 8, 10:11
        
        what do we think the reason is?? me personally - I think word of mouth may have killed it - Epiphany Mar 8, 07:40 3
        
        There just wasn't a huge interest outside the core audience IMO. -- nm - Cuzin Todd Mar 8, 07:47
        
        Horror's already frontloaded, it's arguably the biggest horror franchise in history spanning 3 decades - Will Hunting Mar 8, 07:44
        
        It was the very definition of a one-day wonder. -- nm - Callisto Mar 8, 07:42
I knew it! Mac mini went to Memphis (... Riding on a pony?) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 8, 06:51

Weekend Movies: Wanted: B+ -- nm - Beaker Mar 8, 06:25 4
- Cadillac Records on the plane home: B+. Formulaic but very good performances and great music. -- nm - Diva Mar 8, 09:22
- [deleted] 1
  - I saw that last week - B for me. Better than the original, but Bloom is mis-cast IMO -- nm - Roger More Mar 8, 06:58
- sfek: Outlaw Josey Wales (again): A+ -- nm - Beaker Mar 8, 06:28
Shouldn't this board have rolled by now or is the TT malady spreading? -- nm - secretslacker Mar 8, 06:13 1
- Replies don't cause it to roll, just new threads. -- nm - mara Mar 8, 06:18
